Blessing in the Chaos

To all that is chaoticin you,let there come silence.Let there bea calmingof the clamoring,a stillingof the voices thathave laid their claimon you,that have made theirhome in you,that go with youeven to theholy placesbut will notlet you rest,will not let youhear your lifewith wholenessor feel the gracethat fashioned you.Let what distracts youcease.Let what divides youcease.Let there come an endto what diminishesand demeans,and let departall that keeps youin its cage.Let there bean openinginto the quietthat lies beneaththe chaos,where you findthe peaceyou did not thinkpossibleand see what shimmerswithin the storm.- Jan Richardson

Are you thinking about becoming a Catholic?

The best place to start is always one of your local Catholic churches. Drop in some Sunday and see what's going on. Then you might speak to the pastor or someone on the parish staff about how they can help you and respond to your questions.
